Well if your goal was to turn this place into a sort of "Supertabloid" that'll "do the jobs the tabloids won't", mission accomplished!

Glad to see that Obama has now graduated from socialist to "commie". That ought to really play well with all of those people educated in political studies who actually have a grasp on what those constructs are.

You're appealing to the worst in people and seem to be unashamed in doing so. Worse yet, you censor anyone who dares to express a different point of view, which makes your rants about Obama's supposed totalitarianism all the more hypocritical.

This is what the extreme American dead-end political right has been reduced to. I'll make for a good museum display someday.

"from socialist to "commie". That ought to really play well with all of those people educated in political studies who actually have a grasp on what those constructs are."

Hell, even wikipedia spells out the connection that communism is a form of socialism:

"Communism is an ideology that seeks to establish a classless, stateless social organization, based upon common ownership of the means of production. It can be classified as a branch of the broader socialist movement"

Ironically, even wikipedia spells out that Obama's proposed policies fall into neither category.

Again this entire "Obama is a socialist" angle appeals to the worst elements (ignorance and fear). Rove did so successfully, but America is waking up. This is just another example of outgroup vilification. History isn't going to look back kindly on such things.

segolene and zapatero and prodi are socialists and are honest enough to call themselves and their parties socialist.

And only an ignorant right-wing extremist would be unable to distinguish between their platforms and Obama's.

The electorate is starting to see through the Bush/Cheney/Rove moving of center. Your rhetoric is going to fall on deaf ears as you continue to drive those with critical thinking abilities out of the choir.

she laid out a 100-proposal platform, pledging to raise pensions, to increase the minimum wage to €1,500, or about $2,000, a month and to guarantee a job or further training for every youth within six months of graduating from university.

She also said that randomly selected citizens' juries would watch over government policy...

A substantial part of her speech was dedicated to social and economic issues, on which Royal took a hard-left line.

"The unfettered rein of financial profit is intolerable for the general interest," she said. "You told me simple truths. You told me you wanted fewer income inequalities. You told me you wanted to tax capital more than labor. We will do that reform."

Royal said she would tax companies in relation to what share of their profits is reinvested in equipment and jobs, and what portion is paid to shareholders. She also promised to abolish a flexible work contract for small companies and hold a national conference in June on how to increase salaries.

... United States: On Barack Obama

After the 2008 Super Tuesday primaries in the U.S., Royal said that she would have voted for Barack Obama.[40]

THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TOO COME HARDER THAN THAT! They couldn't pull up any dirt on Obama so thay went this route. This was obviously a plot to sabatogo Obama , but it failed. That's why she ran off too Martinque.

I SEE WHY OBAMA DIDN'T GO FOR IT.SHE'S NOT CUTE OR SEXY FROM WHAT I COULD SEE, IS THAT THE BEST THEY COULD DO,MICHELLE LOOKS WAY BETTER THAN SHE DOES, I LOOK BETTER THAN SHE DOES. SHE NOT PRETTY, SEXY OR EVEN CUTE. SORRY!!

IDIOTS BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY READ. SHE WAS HIRED TO SEEK, KILL AND DESTROY-- BUT THE PLAN FAILED. Shady Political Fixers created this Scandal because they couldn't find anything else on HIM. TOO BAD, SO SAD, BECAUSE HE IS THE 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA- LIKE IT OR NOT. So EAT THAT!! HAHAH!

THIS IS STUPID and that's not even her name. People ought to be ashamed of themselves exploiting a young woman's picture like this to win an election they've already lost... remember the infamous backward B.... hogwash!!!

Who ever wrote this article needs to question what on earth he/she is basing his/her "FORBIDDEN MEMORIES" on. I can tell you that this IS NOT normal, so don't go giving it a name like it's a common understood fantasy - unless you and your social circle "used to" go for the incest sort of thing.

White America is salivating to get some dirt on this man. Even to the point of "forbidden memories" angle. It's clear that a Black man being President of the U.S. is sending many people over the edge of mental stability.

Come close the the screen everyone: JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS WRITTEN DOESN'T MAKE IT SO.

JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS WRITTEN, DOESN'T MAKE IT SO. Didn't any of your parents teach you that. If you're White, probably not.

Get over it! Obama - A BLACK MAN - president of the U.S. And many of you helped vote him in. So stop whining and looking for dirt and help get this country back on track. It's clear that his presidency is making people mentally unstable.

I didn't read it, but someone quoted from one of his books that on one of his first jobs out of college he was the only Black. And that the White executives weren't happy to see him, but the secretary pool sure was! He was quite willing to publically protray himself as a Black stud with an adoring White (implied) harem. Anyone willing to write something like that says a lot about himself.

My mom always said "Lie down with dogs and you get fleas." Obama has been lying down with socialist dogs for twenty years and don't tell me he ain't got fleas.As for the National Enquirer - they have a better track record on fact-based scandal stories panning out than the New York Times.
